Ep 21. Ned 'N Edna's Blend

Ned Flanders finally finds love in the latest episode of The Simpsons, titled "Ned 'N Edna's Blend." After losing his wife Maude several seasons ago, Ned has been a lonely widower, but all that changes when he meets Edna Krabappel, Bart's teacher at Springfield Elementary.

But it's not exactly love at first sight - in fact, Ned and Edna have never really gotten along. But when they both attend a singles' night at the local community center, they end up hitting it off after discovering they have a shared love of cooking and baking (as well as an appreciation of the "Dark Shadows" TV show).

As Ned and Edna's relationship blossoms, the other citizens of Springfield start to get involved, each in their own way. Homer, for one, is thrilled that his neighbor has finally found happiness. Marge helps Edna spruce up her appearance, while Krusty the Clown offers to perform their wedding ceremony (for a price, of course).

Not everyone is happy about the new couple, however. Bart is terrified that if Ned marries Edna, he'll become his stepfather. Meanwhile, Edna's ex-husband, the sleazy salesman Zip (voiced by former "Friends" star David Schwimmer), shows up to try and win her back with his slick charm.

Despite the obstacles, Ned and Edna remain committed to each other, even when it seems like the whole town is against them. The episode concludes with a heartwarming scene of the two of them sharing a meal at home, surrounded by the happy faces of their friends and family.

Overall, "Ned 'N Edna's Blend" is a sweet and funny episode that highlights the importance of companionship and community. It's a reminder that even in a town as wacky as Springfield, love can still find a way.
